Rumours and Stuff

[Happy MEel]

Are you serious?

So nothing since 2016?

 

[Happy MEel]

I dare say his on-field influence outweighed whatever he was doing off the field. Plus just because he took party drugs when he did party doesn't mean he partied on a school night.

Well that’s not what you said. Why does it matter what day of the week you take your party drugs and how do you know what days AJ “partied”?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Footy players get a day or two off during the week. A school night is prob the best time to have a drink. Unless you are saying Norman is partying the night before games / training?

For the absolute most autistic literalist, by 'school night' I mean the night before you have shit to do. So for footy players it's the night before training, not the night before children have to go to school, which I'm sure you're aware has nothing to do with the childless Corey Norman.

No he's a changed man ffs

That’s what I thought you meant. But I’ll ask again, is Corey actually getting on the piss the night before training or games?

Well I don't know much about Andrew Johns at all. But I do know Corey Norman still parties hard and a few of his team mates like to try and emulate him.

Well you must have info we’re not privy to. Still, without anything to go by except the fact “you know”, I can only give him the benefit of the doubt.

Well you're not the one whose job rides on doing what's best for the playing group. If Norman is moved on early I'll be giving the club the benefit of the doubt.

Well if this eventuates we should be able to sack the merkin and not have to pay him a cent. Let’s see how it pans out.

You mean the benefit of the doubt in so much as the club dosent have sufficient influence to restrain such habits?
Its a young persons world Poo. Id be confident every club has their Corey Normans. Lets face it. We were prepared to ignor these fabled Norman issues when we re-signed him to a mega deal. My concern is why has everything changed and why arent we able to focus the guy. We all agree footy skill dosent disappear overnight.
We have bought in new cultural kpi's. Why cant we control such issues. Surely Norman is not that stupid to burn an 800k per season career. If not, whats changed and why is Norman the scapegoat?

On the surface at least it certainly appears Norman and to a lesser extent Jennings have been made scapegoats by the club.

 

[hindy111]

Maybe Mennings is a bad influence as well given hes being shopped around. It cant be his form cause he was great last year so he "all of a sudden dosent know how to play".

Well Peno and Rooster got rid of him while still under contract. What does that tell you?

Once bitten twice shy or in our case 50 times bitten.

Well we all know how Pou loves his scapegoats.

 

[hindy111]

Watching the roosters. Gee how far are we behind them.

 

[Happy MEel]

I must say, I’m looking forward to Fergo joining us.

 

[Chipmunk]

Like I've said plenty of times, getting rid of Norman is the key step going forward. It's not about freeing cap space or even giving opportunities to others. It is about removing his influence.

What if the coach decided to extend his contract?

 

[Delboy]

Forwards win matches, the backs decide by how much.
The physique of the Roosters front row is something we need to adopt.
I kmow that Pou Pou will come in with some remark about last year, hello we are overmatched most games, despite Alvaro's work rate,
Strangely enough , either of the Manly props would improve our stocks in that area.
Mannah is a low impact , hard working tackler, just my opinion.

 

[Chipmunk]

I'd be talking to Tupou. With Morris and Hall signed at the Roosters he'll be surplus next season.

I agree. Did you post this before or after he butchered that try? Lol.

Even Semi butchered a try occasionally
